A diverse mixture of musicians, Laid Blak produce a very unique sound that is familiar to many genres but resides firmly in none. With infusions of reggae, hip-hop, the occasional influx of Dn’B and even blues, they have brilliantly proven themselves eclectic without becoming a novelty act. The performance was bursting with interactions that got the crowd moving and singing, whether Laid Blak veterans or someone who just happened to pass by casually. They have both the energy and dynamism of a great live performing band, but the soul and legitimacy of an interesting listen for your own collection. For years it has puzzled me how they cannot be vastly more popular – I have rarely if ever heard negative feedback from their music, even having introduced it to a wide variety of people. For all those present it was a great party, and one that can’t be easily forgotten.” – Darren Paul Thompson

We’re very excited about LAID BLAK’s “Red & Blak” release at AAA tomorrow night! This is a highly recommended event, be sure not to miss out on a showcase of Bristol’s finest urban reggae crew. Playing alongside Laid Blak are, General Roots bringing you high energy vibes and a guaranteed feel good sound. Alonestar, Bunjy, ‘Father of a Reggae’ Astro and Miss Blackman will also be making a special appearance!
